So I finally worked out most of the quirk for running Mieru 2.x on Fremantle and made an installable package. It's manual installation only for the moment though I plan to also properly update the package in Extras in due time. This package also basically requires CSSU - you can install it even without it but quite a lot important things (like page fitting) just don't work properly, most probably to old & broken Qt/QML/PySide version.

If you spot some bugs or other issues, please let me know.

How to install ?
First, you need to became root.
Then, install all the needed dependencies:
Code:
apt-get install qt-components-10 libzip1 unrar python-pyside.qtgui python-pyside.qtdeclarative
Uninstall the currently installed mieru package, just to be sure (all your settings/history will be untouched by this):

Code:
apt-get remove mieru
Download the package somewhere:
Code:
wget http://m4rtink.github.com/mieru/packages/mieru_2.2.27_armel.deb
And install it:
Code:
dpkg -i mieru_2.2.27_armel.deb
How to return to the old interface:
Just uninstall the package and install it from Extras-devel:
Code:
apt-get remove mieru
apt-get update
apt-get install mieru
How to go to the task switcher ?/ How to minimize Mieru ?

Tap the upper left corner.

How to shutdown Mieru ?

There is a Quit button in the main menu.
This is great!

However, it's time to start thinking about applications depending on latest CSSU. Right now, you won't be able to promote this package to Extras, and that rule should be overridden.
